The People Disguised With the Legislature
Social and Personal News.

fAlkMONI /, IcDluatl -O- hS"" vi
the adjournment of the Legislature with
out performing its duty in regard To the
election of a Senator accustomed no surprise
here,~ Notwithstanding the people have
some very decided opinions on the subject.
The utter disregard of the peoples wishes,
and the total absence of patriotic impulses,
and the unreasonable, stubborn and sense
less fight against Senator Camden, are dis
gushing in the extreme to all honest men.
But it is over now and the case
goes to a higher court for adJudi'
cation. The people will commend the
persistent honesty of those men who went
down in the line of duty, and they will
not hold guiltless any man who has be-
trayed the trust which they reposed IN
him. From a purely partisan standpoint
the course of the Republicans may be sus,
tanned, but to sustain it would require the
o%bliteration of everything except partisan
ship. Those patriotic men who stood up
for the people and the State were right,
the others were wrong, and the day oil
%retribution is coming.
